Gu Xijiu never knew that it could be this cold on a mountain peak. It could be almost comparable to the Mount Everest!
Although she had other clothes in her storage bag, those were only suitable for autumn. The thickest piece of clothing she had was a jacket. She retrieved it and wore it on her, but she was still shivering.
Contrastingly, Long Siye only wore a thin gray robe. It was clear that he possessed tremendous internal powers to remain unimpacted by the cold.
Gu Xijiu knew that if she were willing to let him hold her hand, she would absorb his warmth, but she did not want to! She did not want to have any relationship with this person. Somehow fate had brought them back together, but she did not want to get involved anymore. Thus, she decided to bear with the weather.
Long Siye walked confidently in front of her, but in fact, he had been paying attention to all her movements. He had terrific sensitivity to sound so he could hear her heavy breathing. However, she was too stubborn and refused to get close to him. She did not even need to touch him to be able to feel his warmth.
"Xijiu, come here!’ He reached his hand out to her again. Gu Xijiu walked past him quickly and ignored his hand. She headed directly to the ice palace, "Let's not waste time. Is the thing you wanted to show me inside the palace? Let’s talk inside there."
When she reached the entrance of the palace, Long Siye immediately held her back, "Xijiu, let me hold you. It is even colder inside. I am afraid you will not be able to bear it without any spiritual power."
Gu Xijiu only offered him a frown but did not reject him. She walked inside the palace together with him.
It was empty inside the palace, aside from some portable partitions made from white jade. Her eyes were attracted to them as there was a painting portrayed on them of a woman dressed in white holding a man with a green shirt.
The green-shirted man was tall and handsome. Apparently, it was Long Siye. The woman in white was Gu Xijiu in her previous life. Without asking, she knew that Long Siye painted it. No one else knew what she looked like in her earlier life.
Gu Xijiu stared at Long Siye. She never expected that he was so good at painting now.
"I used to practice a lot, and I painted a portrait. I only painted you and me…" Long Siye held her hand and walked forward.
Gu Xijiu looked at the woman and bit her lip. She was curious if Long Siye had drawn her or his fiancé, Ye Hongfeng. After all, she was her clone, and both of them looked the same.
They walked past the portable partition and finally, Gu Xijiu saw the 'thing' behind the wind shade. She was stunned.
There was a massive crystal coffin made of ice! The coffin was transparent, so it was easy to see the inside. There was a blue liquid inside the coffin, which engulfed a young lady. An unknown cloth wrapped the young lady whose eyes were shut as she lay inside the coffin like a sleeping beauty.
Gu Xijiu was not stunned by the beauty of the young lady but rather the incredibly familiar face she had.
It was her in her previous life!
It was clear that this beauty in the ice coffin was Ye Hongfeng!
Gu Xijiu suddenly recalled a conversation she heard about Overlord Long looking for a 3000-year-old Illusion Weed, in hopes that it could awaken someone.
At the time, it meant nothing to her as she did not know that Overlong Long was Long Xi.
In the modern world, both of them had perished together because Ye Hongfeng could not accept her heart transplant even though the operation had already started with the chest incision. Thus, she was indirectly responsible for Ye Hongfeng’s untimely death.
After looking at the blood red jade in the shape of a maple leaf that was hanging at Long Siye's waist, she could not help but mock it.
In their previous life, he dared to knock her out just to loot her heart for the sake of his fiancée, so why would he be so eagerly attentive to her needs now? Suddenly, she found the answer! He was doing it for the Illusion Weed!
She left the auction room using her teleportation power, so no one would know where she went. However, this could have been one of the reasons why Long Siye knew that it was her! She was, after all, the only person who had mastered the art of disguise and teleportation.
Gu Xixi had probably informed him everything about the auction, and it must have aroused his suspicion and given him the idea that the Illusion Weed was actually with her. With that assumption in mind, he left the mountains and visited the Feixing Kingdom!
After a few attempts, he had found out that the ‘Gu Xijiu' in the general's residence was the one he needed. It was no wonder that he was able to make his appearance in the palace of the Feixing Kingdom in time to take her away! Except that, he did not wish to take her away. All he wanted was the Illusion Weed that she had with her!
Fortunately, she had known its value beforehand and kept the Illusion Weed safely in the Firmament Stone. Otherwise, he must have already stolen it!
A few days ago, Gu Xijiu had once suspected that someone had sneaked in and searched through her belongings in the storage bag while she was taking a short rest at the general’s residence. However, because she did not lose anything, she dismissed the suspicion.
Everything makes sense now! He was only trying to make her let her guard down. She initially thought that his compassion was due to his guilt, as he had never been this compassionate before in their previous life. It turns out he was concealing his true intentions. Luckily she was cautious around him.
The condition in the ice coffin was immensely cold. Despite being some distance away from it, Gu Xijiu could already sense the coldness in her bones.
Quietly, Long Siye utilized his spiritual power to warm the surroundings. He took her hand and moved forward, "Xijiu, this is what I wanted you to see. Do you like your current body?"
Xijiu was so still that she could not move. She looked at him indifferently and said, "Whether I like this body or not, what difference does it make?"
Long Siye looked at her smilingly, then he took another look at the body in the ice coffin, "Xijiu, I’ve filled this body with spiritual power as well as a secret power to make a new body that looks exactly like your body in your previous life. Maybe even better.
Of course, the structure of the field energy in your body will be the same. If you like it, I can try to place your soul inside, and you will resurrect in a whole new body…"
